How To Get Full Eyebrows

Professional makeup artist demonstrates how to get a great eyebrow shape using brush and pencil.

Hi, I'm Eva Belle international fashion make up artist. You can see my work at eva-belle.com.

Today I'm going to show you some tricks of the trade and some of my make up secrets.

Today I'm going to show you how to do a great eyebrow shape. For me it's all about having that nice fullness without being too dark or dramatic and just framing the eye perfectly.

First I'm going to go in with a brush, just to see what I'm working with and have a little play with the shape, brush them up.

And I've got a great shape to work with today, I'm going to actually emphasize them a little bit more and make them fuller and I'm going to work with her natural brow shape, brushed up.

The first tip to darkening them and filling in the shape, is take a little bit of dark powder that matches the eyebrow colour exactly, you don't want it darker or lighter, for this look in particular.

And take off any excess, just use an angle brush, and just with little strokes we're going to go in between each eyebrow hair, just to add extra depth and thickness to the shape. We want them to actually look like individual little hairs, just tiny little sprays.

It's important to have a really sharp angle brush otherwise it's not going to get the same effect.

It can be tempting just to go in with a pencil and just draw them on, because it's fast and easy. But you're not going to get the same effect, and the eyebrow's the most powerful feature on the face. They have the ability to completely restructure and re-change the shape of somebody's face.

Not only the shape, but also the era, eyebrows can define a whole look.

So I've just finished off the other side in the exact same way, taking the powder in and now I'm going to fill in any tiny, little strays just to get a little bit more emphasis, with a pencil. You just want to go in very lightly, anywhere you want to fill in a few little gaps and just going to darken it off.

And to finish I'm going to take a brow comb, spray it with a little bit of hairspray, take off any excess and just run that through the brows to hold them in place. It's going to keep them there all day and that's how to do a great modern brow. .
